If you haven’t heard of ranch water, allow us to introduce you.
It’s a refreshing, light summer cocktail made with three simple ingredients: blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, and Topo Chico (a sparkling mineral water with the perfect ratio of bubbles to water–if you haven’t tried it yet, trust us). We gave this summertime classic a tropical upgrade by adding a mango purée and a rim that seamlessly blends sweet, sour, and salty flavors. If you can’t get your hands on Topo Chico, double down on the tropical vibe with a mango sparkling water.

INSTRUCTIONS

How to enjoy it
Mango purée can be found in the frozen section of some grocery stores. To make your own mango purée, blend ripe mango flesh or thawed frozen mango in a blender until smooth. (Add a touch of water to help it blend, if needed.) If using fresh, we prefer Ataulfo mango as it is a less fibrous mango. Make this a tasty mocktail by omitting tequila.
